# Subject: Urgent: Inconsistent HLK Test Outcomes (Pass in Log, Fail in Report) - Request for Clarification and Support

NTDEV
1

Dear All,

We are seeking assistance with an unusual behavior observed during our Hardware Lab Kit (HLK) testing process. We have completed the HLK setup and executed a comprehensive test suite against our driver using HLK Studio. Out of a total of 60 tests, 41 have passed, and 19 are consistently reported as failed.

Our concern lies with the 19 reported failures. Upon detailed examination of the corresponding test log files (with a .wtl extension), we have discovered a direct contradiction: the logs explicitly state a "PASSED" result, while the HLK Studio interface marks the test with a red cross, indicating a failure.

I would like to attach two representative log files, logfail1.wtl and logfail2.wtl (which are test result xml file), which clearly demonstrate this discrepancy but i couldn't find a way to add these file to my request. So i add it the first one as plainn xml file:

Both files contain the definitive "PASSED" string.

They show both:

Furthermore, for each test, a .wtl.trace file is generated. We are currently unable to open or interpret the contents of these trace files and would appreciate instructions on their proper usage for debugging purposes.

This inconsistency between log output and report status is hindering our progress in achieving HLK certification. We kindly request your urgent guidance on:

Why these tests are being reported as failed in HLK Studio when their logs indicate success.

How to effectively open, read, and utilize the .wtl.trace files to further diagnose these issues.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. We look forward to your valuable insights and support.

Best regards,

I don't have an obvious answer for that one, sorry...The HLKs can be painful to get through sometimes. Having been through similar things I recommend the following:

  1. Make sure you're using the latest HLK
  2. Make sure you're using the up to date playlist and filters: Windows Hardware Lab Kit | Microsoft Learn
  3. Before you make yourself completely insane, make sure you can certify another, similar device on the system that uses an inbox driver. If the tests don't pass for that then you have very little hope. Best choice at that point is to try another test system, sometimes something about the system itself causes the failures.

Maybe someone else will have a specific solution to this problem...
